34. However, the official documentation admitting Russia to the UN is nonexistent.

Russia has been a member called USSR still to this day in the charter. As mentioned in the Euromaidan Press, the official paperwork for Russia's admission doesn't exist. He may be splitting legal hairs, but good on Kyslytsia for doing it. It seems wrong that all other former states from the USSR had to reapply, but Russia did not. Yeltsin just sent a letter, and no one argued at the time. They're arguing now. Sorry if you've already seen these:

Maybe Kyslytsia is tilting at windmills to make an issue of it at this late date, but somebody should have long before now and didn't. I admire him for it. It's telling that none of the other countries present today are complaining about it. They're letting him make his case, and it's not a entirely bad one.

Who knows? This may get very interesting. Cheers.
